Cruffin From Mr. Holmes Bakehouseミスター ホルムズ ベイクハウスのクラッフィン(Japanese follows. / 日本語は以下へ続く。)The other day, I found a new hybrid confectionery famous in San Francisco called "Cruffin" sold at Mr. Holmes Bakehouse on Foodbeast.As I always search what to eat before traveling, I of course put this place in my highest priority.

According to some research, it's a muffin shaped croissant with fillings and covered with sugars.I'm not sure how often they change the fillings, but use wide variety; coffee to fruit curd.

Today, March 3, 2015, I arrived at the mini bakery at 8:45 AM and there're about 10 people waiting in a line.

Cruffin doesn't roll out till around 9 and it's said that all the Cruffin is sold out within an hour.This bakery opens at 7 AM so that some customers buying baked goods while those who came here for Cruffin were outside.At 8:58 AM, the line slowly started proceeded towards inside.

The floor was all tiled and at the entrance, "Holmes Sweet Holmes."

The space except the showcase was about 4.5 tatami mats (= 7.44㎡ ≒ 80ft²).On the wall, "I Got Baked in San Francisco" with a peace sign.

Besides Cruffin, there're many pastries and breads.

Each person is allowed to purchase up to 2 Cruffins, and if you want a box, you must buy at least 6 items.I gave up on a box and got one Cruffin and a croissant, and also a cup of coffee even though I don't drink that often. <-- Just because the paper cup with a peace sign was cute, that's why I bought it.* They don't take AMEX.

As I didn't get a box, the Cruffin was placed in a bag.Needless to say, it's unstable and the cream on the top got stuck inside of the bag.

Over the cream, there're some crunchy pieces.Apparently, they're honeycomb crunches but I didn't taste any honey.

I think it's about 12cm (4.7 inch) tall.

Cruffin was entirely covered with white sugars.

With the lights.

First bite didn't reach the filling inside but I saw many layers of dough.And the cream was caramel, and it's soft and smooth.

After finishing the upper half, I finally saw the caramel filling.

The dough was incredibly crunchy and crispy, and without utensils, it's hard to bite without making a mess on the table or covering yourself with sugars, crumbs and filling on your face and clothes.

It's for sure tasty, but the crunchy and spiky pieces were hurting my mouth in a way, and the difficulty in eating besides the sugary surface, a single Cruffin and even once was enough for me.By the time I left the shop around 9:30 AM, the line got much longer.If you want to try, I'd recommend you get there before 9 AM.Cruffin: 4.14 dollars (before tax)** Cash and cards are acceptable except AMEX. **
